Yet another fake cyber affair
Just when you thought that you have succeeded to woo a girl in a chat-room on the net, you could have been fooled. CyberLover.ru, a website from Russia, is marketing software that has the ability to initiate beguiling exchanges in a chat room.
It prides itself in chatting up and posing as many characters at the same time. Anti-virus enterprises caution that this could lead to pranksters finding out personal details. However, the site has refuted charges that this has been created to hide identities.
At a time when social networking sites are making a mark by not only uniting long lost friends but also bringing two unknown people on a single platform, this software has only heartened the cyber crooks who could pose as a girl/man to prey on the innocent minds.
Cyberlover site employs the highest level of technology to strike a conversation over the net that has even stumped the Internet security experts. Such is the audacity of this software that a normal Internet user would be caught off guard.
Interestingly, this site primarily targets users from the social networking sites. Now, this would mean additional headaches for the users now.
Kunal Pandya, founder of the social networking site Metrojoint.com points, “Social networking sites globally face such problems. You can not always keep a track on your members and who and where they are coming from and for what kind of intentions.”
He further adds: “they can be child molesters, abusers or they can be fraud people seeking to steal your personal data. Some websites even have automatic robots, called as bots, behaving like real person (real woman) trying to stimulate you and then ask you for your credit card information or any other related sensitive data.”
Analysts also mention that Internet pranksters are abreast with the fact that social networking sites have virtually replaced the old-day chatrooms. “And these fraudsters can be individuals or even a team or illegal corporation working in action spying your activities”, cautions Kunal.
One of the basic things to follow is to sign up with legitimate sites only and never to provide your email ID to a site, which you do not feel secured. “Even in social networking sites, it is advisable not to give away your sensitive personal information” is the final word from Kunal.
Cyberlover is all set to be unveiled during the Valentine time next year. Would this be an affair worth remembering or be cut short? The wait would be over soon.

How to create ultra hidden system folder in windows xp and vista.
You may have created normal hidden folders in windows Xp and vista to store your private files , but these normal type of hidden folders in vista and windows Xp is quite old technique. As even if you create a hidden folder using this old technique almost every one or a normal windows user would know how to get access to that folder.
By simply going to Windows Explorer>>File Menu>>tools>>Folder Options>>view tab and check the radio option which says - “Show Hidden Files and Folders“.
But what if you can create a ultra hidden system folder which is not shown even if the above setting of “Show Hidden Files and Folders” is turned on or clicked.
So,
How To Create a Ultra Hidden Folder In Windows Xp and Vista.
1. Open My Computer and go to File Menu>>Tools>>Folder Options>>View Tab(Press alt button to show file menu bar in windows vista).
2. Scroll down and check the option which says - “Show Hidden Files and Folders” and uncheck the option which says - “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” and click ok.
3. Now Open any drive from my computer you will find a folder named RECYCLER( this is a hidden as well as system folder).
4. Copy this folder any where and rename it according to your choice and paste your private files into this folder.
5. Repeat the step 1 and check the option which says - “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” and click ok.
6. That’s it! Done.
Now go to the location where you pasted and renamed that folder called RECYCLER ,you will notice that folder is invisible even if the setting called “Show Hidden Files and Folders” is checked, so you have finally created a ultra hidden folder in windows.
Logic Behind This - All the system folders in a windows system are automatically hidden so when we check the option “Show Hidden Files and Folders” all the hidden folders are shown but as due to the setting called “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” is checked due to which all the system folders which are automatically hidden are not shown so they become the ultra hidden folders which are not shown due the overriding settings.
As a normally no one uncheck this setting “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” because it is recommended not every one will easily find this ultra hidden folder in windows xp or vista.
If you have any problems in implementing the above illustrated procedure to create a ultra hidden system folder in windows xp or windows vista then leave a comment here i will be glad to answer you.

Access blocked, banned websites like orkut, myspace, facebook from school or office part 1.
lmost most of us normally face the situation when we try access a particular website like orkut, myspace, facebook and any other banned website from school, college or office we get the message at the browser which normally says “This Website is blocked“.
So ,Today i will share the solution:
” How to get access to the websites like orkut , facebook and myspace etc. from your work location part 1. “
Well there are numerous number of ways to do this is to use some free proxy server address that you can hunt for but most of the time they don’t work and if they work you can’t use them for a long time

If you like to know how you can use JAP for connecting to blocked websites check out here
But still some of people like Larith from UAE doesn’t find JAP a good option as it is very slow in connecting to various blocked websites and banning of various social networking websites is also at a very high strength in UAE.
So for those who are not able to connect to the banned websites with JAP can use CCProxy which is another free proxy software which enables you set up your own proxy server and realize Internet connection sharing within 10 minutes.
What is CCProxy?
Proxy Server CCProxy lets all computers on the LAN access Internet through one single Internet connection. Just need to install Proxy Server CCProxy on the server which can access Internet directly and the other PC clients can connect to the Internet through the proxy software.
But what if you don’t have any server which has a direct connection to internet. Don’t Worry you can still access blocked websites using CCProxy software.

1. Download and install CCProxy on your computer.
